    Ardbeg Corryvreckan

    Powerfully peaty and immensely satisfying, Ardbeg's Corryvreckan is what happens when the distillery of Islay's Kildalton Coast aims to make a whisky with a particularly medicinal style than its usual expressions. Aptly named after a nearby whirlpool, Corryvreckan is an intense dram that we simply love.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Sticking plasters, buttery, creamy, roast chicken crisps, herbal, almost a hint of pine…

    Palate

    Cream, spices, tingling, fresh fruit, medicinal, plasters, Clementines. Orange peels.

    Finish

    Salty, more medicinal, smoked meats, peat is fleeting, tarmac, chilli, salt.

    Overall

    Astonishing.

    Quintessentially Islay!

    Peat and iodine on the nose, chased by alcohol and salt spray. Echoes of the treacle toffee mines linger. Musty ropes and burnt peat in the mouth both fore and aft. Hard toffee dropped in the seaweed. Subtle burn on the finish. You look out to sea whistfully over a burning fire. The perfect marriage of Laphroaig and Bruchladdich dances o'er your toungue. Your drenched clothes start to dry as the curses which made the air blue settle; life aint so bad after all.

    the best

    Corryvrecken is the whisky against which I judge all others. Clean, strong, peaty. No sherry cask softening. There is little for a reasonable cost that can beat it. I have an octomore that equals it ( at nearly twice the price) and an ardbeg committee release ( dark cove) that possibly beats it ( but impossibly rare and unreplaceable). Once had a £25 yr old special release Talisker that was up there ...but at £1000 a bottle it doesn't really count. Unbeatable as a buyable Islay.

    Swirling and Opinionated.

    It's amazing how tastebuds and opinions and appreciation changes.This being a prime example.My first purchase of this was when I had covid and my tastebuds were mangled!Now I truly can appreciate this rather wonderful expression from Ardbeg.Just watch the clip above and description on the bottle,spot on!

    Taste bud terror!

    I love to be proved wrong,I initially tried this after recovering from covid my taste buds mangled.I did not appreciate the complexity and said it was like a Willy Wonka chocolate bar,it is! So wonderful,medicinal,chicken flavor crisps,toffee wrapped bandages,mind bending and memory drenched,it is beautiful !

    Denigrating Corry is a desecration.

    The Oogie sherry bomb is not for everyone's palate, but Corryvreken here is certainly a contender for the best core range Islay, arguably even on par with some of the Octmore's - it's that delectable.
